Description
Torch is an open source utility which uses your device's LED camera flash as an LED flashlight. For devices without a camera flash, Torch will turn the screen white.If Torch previously worked on your Nexus S, but stopped worked after upgrading your device to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, you should use this version of Torch (uninstall the previous version first to avoid two versions with the same name).
Features:
Long press hardware search button to start Torch (optional)
No settings
Few permissions
Torch is tested on the Nexus S with Android 4.0.3 and works on the Galaxy Nexus and many other devices.

Excellent small app The smallest app that I could find which will use the camera led and does not require freaky permissions. Thank you! Sony Experia Pro with ICS

Frustrating All phones with an LED flash should have a torch app, so this was a natural choice. Search for Android 4.0 and this comes up, I assume others won't work on Ice Cream Sandwich. Does what it says, yet my complaint is the same as others... won't let me turn the bloody screen off while operating the LED!! I'm fine with the UI, less is more, I just want to be able to operate the torch on its own as operating the screen alone sucks enough power on my SGSII without having the LED going at the same time. This is not just an annoying issue, it is impractical when using the torch for extended periods of time as some of us do and seriously reduces battery life. Please give the ability to touch the screen, turn the light on and then lock the screen while the LED still operates. If I want to turn my LED off ill unlock my phone, im not an idiot and I have figured out where the unlock button is on my palm sized device without a frigging milky square staring up at me. 3 stars because I knew of this problem before I downloaded but had little option otherwise.

Just works Love the fact that this app requires so few permissions to install. The last flashlight app I had wanted to know my location and use the data connection?

average Does what it needs to do but cannot run as a background app.

Nice simple app Who needs eye candy for an app that requires darkness?? Like the whole screen being the on/off button as in awkward places, finding a tiny spot on the screen is a pain.
